lap; but the whole
disposing thereof is of the LORD.

even they both are
abomination to the LORD.

fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

slothful man hideth his hand in his
bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

dish; he will not
even bring it back to his mouth.

resolve a dispute, but any
fool will quarrel.
Most men will
proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
Many a man proclaims his loving devotion, but who can find a
trustworthy man?
Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

Drive out the
mocker, and conflict will depart;
even quarreling and insults will cease.
That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall
rejoice,
even mine.

rejoice.
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
through knowledge its rooms are filled with
every precious and beautiful
treasure.

doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul,
doth not he know it? and shall not he render to
every man according to his works?
If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?

kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel,
even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and
vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had
toiled to
achieve, I found
everything to be
futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
Then I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what more can the king’s successor do than what has already been accomplished?
The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the
fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one
event happeneth to them all.
The wise man has eyes in his head, but the
fool walks in darkness. Yet I also came to
realize that one fate overcomes them both.
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the
fool, so it happeneth
even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
So I said to myself, “The fate of the
fool will also
befall me. What then have I gained by being wise?” And I said to myself that this too is
futile.
For there is no
remembrance of the wise more than of the
fool for
ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the
fool.
For there is no lasting
remembrance of the wise, just as with the
fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come.
Alas, the wise man will die just like the
fool!
Therefore I
hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is
grievous unto me: for all is vanity and
vexation of spirit.
So I
hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was
grievous to me. For
everything is
futile and a pursuit of the wind.
For all his days are sorrows, and his
travail grief;
yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Indeed, all his days are filled with grief, and his task is sorrowful;
even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is
futile.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
He has made
everything beautiful in its time. He has also set
eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot
fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.
And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor—this is the gift of God.
I know that,
whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for
ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
I know that
everything God does endures
forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.
I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.”
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;
even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other;
yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since
everything is
futile.
Again, I considered all
travail, and
every right work, that for this a man is
envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and
vexation of spirit.
I saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s
envy of his
neighbor. This too is
futile and a pursuit of the wind.
There is one alone, and there is not a second;
yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and
bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity,
yea, it is a
sore travail.
There is a man all alone, without
even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I
toil and
bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is
futile—a
miserable task.
There is no end of all the people,
even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not
rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and
vexation of spirit.
There is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come
even later. This too is
futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to
rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Furthermore, God has given riches and wealth to
every man, and He has enabled him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to
rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.
If a man
beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
A man may father a hundred children and live for many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he is unsatisfied with his prosperity and does not
even receive a proper burial, I say that a
stillborn child is better off than he.
Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?
It is better to go to the house of
mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
It is better to enter a house of
mourning than a house of feasting, since death is the end of
every man, and the living should take this to heart.
Also take no
heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant
curse thee:
Do not pay attention to
every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant
cursing you.
I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly,
even of
foolishness and madness:
I directed my mind to understand, to
explore, to search out wisdom and explanations, and to understand the
stupidity of wickedness and the folly of madness.
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
For there is a right time and procedure to
every purpose, though a man’s misery weighs
heavily upon him.
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto
every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own
hurt.
All this I have seen, applying my mind to
every deed that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own
detriment.
When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night
seeth sleep with his eyes:)
When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the task that one performs on the earth—though his eyes do not see sleep in the day or even in the night—
Then I
beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it;
yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
I saw
every work of God, and that a man is unable to
comprehend the work that is done under the sun.
Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning;
even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to
comprehend.
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.
So I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies
ahead, whether love or
hate.
All things come alike to all: there is one
event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the
sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
It is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the
sinner; as it is for the one who makes a
vow, so it is for the one who refuses to take a
vow.
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one
event unto all:
yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
This is an evil in
everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for
everyone.
Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
There is hope, however, for
anyone who is among the living; for
even a live dog is better than a dead lion.
Also their love, and their hatred, and their
envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for
ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Their love, their
hate, and their
envy have already
vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.
Yea also, when he that is a
fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to
every one that he is a
fool.
Even as the
fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking, and he shows
everyone that he is a
fool.
The labour of the
foolish wearieth
every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
The
toil of a
fool wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city.
A feast is made for
laughter, and wine maketh
merry: but money answereth all things.
A feast is prepared for
laughter, and wine makes life
merry, but money is the answer for
everything.
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and
curse not the rich in thy
bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
Do not
curse the king
even in your thoughts, or
curse the rich
even in your
bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
Divide your portion among seven, or
even eight, for you do not know what
disaster may
befall the land.
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the
womb of her that is with child:
even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones are formed in a mother’s
womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
In the morning
sow thy seed, and in the
evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall
prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hands in the
evening, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or if both will equally
prosper.
But if a man live many years, and
rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
So if a man lives many years, let him
rejoice in them all. But let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many.
Everything to come is
futile.
Or
ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden
bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the
cistern.
Remember Him before the silver cord is
snapped and the golden
bowl is
crushed, before the pitcher is
shattered at the spring and the wheel is broken at the well,
Vanity of
vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
They all hold swords, being
expert in war:
every man hath his sword upon his
thigh because of fear in the night.
All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.
Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are
even shorn, which came up from the washing;
whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
Your teeth are like a flock of newly
shorn sheep coming up from the washing; each has its
twin, and not one of them is lost.
Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing,
whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing; each has its
twin, and not one of them is lost.
Or
ever I was aware, my soul made me like the
chariots of Amminadib.

chariots of my people.
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
The mandrakes send forth a
fragrance, and at our door is
every delicacy, new as well as old, that I have
treasured up for you, my beloved.
Solomon had a
vineyard at
Baal-
hamon; he let out the
vineyard unto keepers;
every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

vineyard in
Baal-
hamon. He
leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.
From the sole of the foot
even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither
mollified with
ointment.
From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness— only wounds and welts and
festering sores neither
cleansed nor
bandaged nor
soothed with oil.
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an
abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of
assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity,
even the solemn meeting.
Bring your worthless offerings no more; your incense is
detestable to Me— your New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations. I cannot
endure iniquity in a solemn assembly.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you:
yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you;
even though you multiply your prayers, I will not
listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
Thy princes are
rebellious, and companions of
thieves:
every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither
doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Your rulers are rebels, friends of
thieves. They all love bribes and
chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the
plea of the widow never comes before them.
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

exalted— it will be humbled—

every high tower, and upon
every fenced wall,
against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

oppressed,
every one by another, and
every one by his neighbour: the child shall
behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

oppress one another, man against man,
neighbor against
neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in

Zion and
whoever is left in Jerusalem will be called holy— all in Jerusalem who are recorded among the living—
And the LORD will
create upon
every dwelling place of mount
Zion, and upon her
assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the

Then the LORD will
create over all of Mount
Zion and over her
assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a
glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a
canopy,
In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be
desolate,
even great and fair, without inhabitant.

desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who

roar against them like the
roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is
darkened in the heavens thereof.

roar over it, like the
roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress;
even the light will be obscured by clouds.

vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it,
even the son of Tabeal:

invade Judah,
terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can
install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
